well i posted my original post after a long day of work and wrenching and a couple glasses of wine. the chain rub is a non issue, i was looking at the bike form a weird angle when i thougt the chain was going to be an issue but i was seeing things basically. the chain doesn't rub, which i realized as soon as i pulled the bike down off the hook. the 50 chainring does come close to the stays, i think a 50 is about as big as you can go, and the crankarm comes close to the stay as well. according to a very trusted mechanic (who also owns an axis) none of these clearances are so close to be any issue.
sorry for any confusion, it was i who was originally confused.
